Wanderlust Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall Wanderlust was a great stay. The cabin was in a convenient location. It looked as described except for one picture with the huge TV. That room wasn't in the cabin. I was notified the day of the dryer wasn't working and wouldn't be fixed for our stay. With a family of four that was a little tough. The pool was cold, but we enjoyed the hot tub. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 February 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay at Wanderlust. We’re very glad to hear that you found the cabin clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, and that you were able to enjoy the hot tub during your visit. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the photo with the large TV. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will review the listing to ensure it accurately reflects the cabin layout. We’re also sorry again for the inconvenience caused by the dryer being unavailable during your stay. We understand how challenging that can be for a family, and we appreciate your understanding as we worked to address the issue. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the pool temperature. Guest input is extremely valuable to us, and we will certainly look into this.

Yearly Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely love this cabin we have stayed here multiple times and will continue to stay here. The only thing I wish is that they had some kind of curtains or blinds downstairs at the pool area for more privacy. We have had other guests sitting outside in their car with headlights shining into pool area.

Wanderlust Pool Paradise and Elk Springs Customer Service

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this cabin was ideal and it was a beautiful home. The cleanliness wasn't the best. The bathroom has toothpaste splatters everywhere. The pool also has some issues while we were there. We reported it and a pool tech was sent about 16 hours later. I did have to speak with customer service several times and they weren't the friendliest and I felt my questions were interrupted their coffee break. At checkout we were told we could text, which we need, and it was never acknowledged that we even checked out. We did have a nice vacation and enjoyed our stay but we'll definitely stay with a different resort next time.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 December 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Once the pool issue was reported, maintenance was dispatched and addressed the concern as quickly as possible during your stay, and we appreciate your patience while that was resolved. We are also sorry to hear about your experience with customer service and the lack of acknowledgment at checkout. This feedback is taken seriously and will be shared with our team to ensure we improve communication, responsiveness, and overall guest interactions moving forward.

Unexpectedly Surprised

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time in Tennessee ever. I did as much research as I could online. We knew we wanted a cabin and have a pool. We were shocked to find these types of cabins. Knowing very little and apprehensive we booked the Wanderlust. We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Everything was amazing including the location. We had such an time that we are seriously considering coming back again next year. The only things we wish we could’ve used was the downstairs tv and fire pit.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2025

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at Wanderlust - the property was exactly as the pictures presented and was very clean and centrally located to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We had hoped for more of a 'mountain view', of which there is none since you are in a community of other units/cabins, but with close proximity to the state park there is plenty to get out and see.

Very nice one bedroom cabin with a hot tub and pool

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The hot tub has partial privacy and the pool room has little to no visibility from the outside (unless the lights are on) which is great. **The worst part of this cabin is the alarm attachment on the pool door entry, which serves no point and should be removed immediately.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 April 2024
Thank you for your feedback. W are glad you enjoyed the hot tub and pool room setup. We understand your concern about the alarm on the pool door, but it is a child-safety feature required by insurance to ensure the safety of all guests.

Reviewer Comments: needs new living room furniture , it was pretty uncomfortable, better sheets wouldn't hurt either .. the pool was tiny and wasn't ready for use they said they could get it ready but what ever they did wasn't enough , the water color wasn't right or clear ... it might be good for kids but it is a one bedroom , the arcade is one machine with multiple games and nice my wife and me played it like it was 1984 .. it wouldn't hurt to have a couple coffee pods there for the unprepared .. shopping and eating are nearby

Needs a better cleaning crew

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With everything wrong with this place, I over paid. We had no working wash machine and dryer. The pool steps and sides were dirty. The comforter and shams on the bed were so gross and have never been washed. Stains and brown from not being washed. It made me feel gross. I picked this place for the pool and washer and dryer, both were a disappointment. We could not wash our clothes and air dry them because maintenance unplugged the whole unit. Cleaning crew was rushed cleaning this unit. It was obviously. I have pictures I can share! I have never asked for a refund but I think fair would be to refund me some of the money paid for our inconvenience. The A/C in the living room could not keep up. It stayed 77-79 degrees. The bed was not comfortable and worn down on the sides. The sheets would not stay on due to popping off. I had to call maintenance out 2 times.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 July 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lisa. We are truly so sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. This is certainly not the standard we strive to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been for key amenities like the washer, dryer, and pool to fall short of expectations. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and will be addressing them directly with our cleaning and maintenance teams. Please know our staff is here to happily assist with any cabin issues 24/7. Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust in the future.

Good for a small family, not a couple looking for a romantic stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I felt like I was in a suburb, not a mountain cabin. Our only view was 14 other cabins and the road. The pool room was wonderful, but needs curtains. We did not like the feeling of being on a stage (to those 14 cabins) when we were there at night.This cabin could have been anywhere as there was no view of the mountains. It was quite disappointing and so not worth the money we paid. We were quite happy to pay for a mountain cabin, but this was not one.This cabin would be good for a family as it is easy to get to anything in Pigeon Forge. It is a one bedroom cabin, but there is a sofa bed that could be used by 2 small children or one larger child. There is a foosball, an arcade game, and an electronic dart board. The pool is small but very nice. There are two fenced in decks. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin. We did pay the cleaning fee, so we were not happy to have the cleaner leave an envelope to get a tip. The bed is a King size and was pretty comfortable, but new pillows are needed.The kitchen has everything you could want to have. The cabin is pretty. Lounge chairs in the pool room would be nice to have. The pool room is the highlight of this cabin, so being able to relax there would be terrific. If this cabin were actually in a good part of the mountains than this would be a good review. I realize that you cannot move the cabin, so, instead, you need to tell people that this is not recommended for a romantic couple's get away. I really do feel that, based on the money we spent and the long trip to get there and back home, that we did not get good value and we certainly did not get the weekend away we planned.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 October 2024

Mixed feelings: beautiful location and home, but has its hidden p

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2 hours before arrival we called Elk Springs after not hearing is the cabin was ready, which was after 3pm. The cabin was not ready when we arrived 3 hours after check in. Upon unpacking, there was no available kitchen storage for any food. I was forced to use counterspace and kitchen table for the dry goods we brought. After the 2nd day, I woke up to find the countertop covered in ants, along with our food, bags, my sons medicines, etc. I called and requested ant spray and also a propane tank replacement for the fire table we couldn't get to work. Later when the maintained man came, we found out the fire pit table has a trick you have to do to use it, but we could have never known that or gotten to use it without having someone come out to see. We planned to use Wednesday evening until Friday check out to soak up the cabin amenities, play in the pool, and just relax at the cabin. We returned Wednesday evening to find the pool half empty and waterfall off. I called and maintenence came out and refilled it, and informed me they shut the waterfall off because there was a leak in it and that tomorrow (thursday) someone will be out to try to fix the leak. My husband and I were both now upset because we had planned to stay at the cabin the last day and a half using the pool. Additionally, our pool temperature was now cold because of being refilled and warm water came from the waterfall. My husband called to complain and request an early check out on Wednesday night because of unavailable pool amenities and was denied. We were told no, and continued to leave Thursday instead of enduring pool maintenance our last day.

Great cabin with or without kids

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and very clean cabin. Close enough to town to grab things but far enough to avoid people, which is what we were after. Neighbors were closer than we anticipated but still not bad. It was super nice and had just about everything you needed. We bought groceries in town and didn’t even leave the cabin for a couple days. We will definitely be back.
